Analysis of epileptic seizure count time series by ensemble state space modelling
Abstract:
We propose an approach for the analysis of epileptic seizure count time series within a state space framework. Time-dependent dosages of several simultaneously administered anticonvulsants are included as external inputs. The method aims at distinguishing which temporal correlations in the data are due to the medications, and which correspond to an unrelated background signal. Through this method it becomes possible to disentagle the effects of the individual anticonvulsants, i.e., to decide which anticonvulsant in a particular patient decreases or rather increases the number of seizures.

Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
State Space to Transfer Function
The transformation process begins with the state-space representation, characterized by the state equation and the output equation. These equations are typically represented as:
